Hey, Scotland! See a Preview Screening of CITADEL This Tuesday!

We here at Twitch are big fans of Ciaran Foy's feature film debut Citadel. It's an intense, tight horror film that examines a young man's crippling agoraphobia in the wake of a violent attack by strange youths that leaves his wife dead. Our own Brian Clark described it as "one of the most intense depictions of pure fear I've ever seen", and it was on my top 20 list of last year. Mixing monsters will the real-life terrors of poverty and isolation, it's both personal and incredibly relatable, particularly to those with knowledge of life on Britain's social housing estates, where crime is often rampant with seemingly no way out.

The film is due for release on Friday, July 12, and there are four preview screenings on Tuesday, July 9 in select cities in Scotland:

Aberdeen Cineworld, Union Square, 7.40pm

Edinburgh Cineworld, Fountain Park, 8.10pm

Falkirk Cineworld, Central Retail Park, 7.40pm

Glasgow Cineworld, Renfrew Street, 8pm

Winner of the Feature Film Méliès d'Argent at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival, and the Audience Aware for Best Feature Film at the Paris International Fantastic Film Festival, the amazing art direction and claustrophobic atmospheric story demand to be seen on the big screen. Highly recommended.

Reading many business stories about Hollywood lately, it quickly becomes apparent that few have embraced either the Athenian master or the fine, folksy wisdom of Will Rogers. How else to...

Hollywood's annual pageant of nice dresses and the complex madness of John Travolta went off pretty much as expected - a few less for American Sniper than perhaps I cynically expected, and a few more for Birdman, which ain't Boyhood, but is an off-model enough Best Picture that I can't...
